Sony NEX-5R Review
Now here's another one: a deliciously tiny, mirrorless, interchangeable lens camera that can almost replace many DSLRs on themarket. Sony was one of the early entrants in this game and, in typical fashion, continues to refine the bloodline with this third generation product in the 5 series.

An inspired update to its excellent predecessor, and an unequivocal Best Buy

Perfect for beginners
I know very little about cameras but I was fed up of trying to take photos of my children and getting blurred images. I've also been put off by DSLR camera's as they are heavy and cumbersome. When you are out with your children in tow, the last thing you need is the responsibility of a huge camera.

Sony NEX-5R mirror-less super cam
The apps might not set your pulse racing, but this well-connected cam is a top gun in its own right.

Great for a first DSLR camera
My first product review on any item. My wife bought this camera as a Christmas gift to a up grade from a compact Nikon camera. I picked the camera out after talking to one of the best buy reps.
Pros:
- Easy to set up
- great picture
Cons:
- None so far

Nex 5R
I initially bought a Canon T3i on sale but returned it after reading a review of the Sony Nex 5R on The Verge website. I can confirm what the review claimed. The picture quality of the Sony Nex 5R with the kit lens easily surpasses that of the Canon T3i with the kit lens.
